Looks like ICE is opening another detention center in Tennessee β in LEBANON. Part of the $38 BILLION push, as @CoreCivic complains they havenβt detained enough people.
Cruelty is big business.

A considerable segment of the American populace, swayed by intense convictions, chose a polarizing individual, a former reality television star with a criminal history, which could disadvantage their fellow citizens. What a country.

Please demand all documents related to Epstein's death. Evidence clearly shows he was murdered. Trump was president. Didn't Barr spend a full day at Rikers the day after his murder? Was it a mafia-style hit on a man who knew all Trump's dirty secrets? #Epstein

On the front lines of eviction prevention - The Philanthropist Journal
βA little goes a long wayβ in keeping people housed, advocates say, and the social costs of not addressing the housing crisis are immeasurable.
βA recent Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation study concluded that every $1 invested in eviction prevention and housing stability saves $2 to $6 in emergency system costs. In other words, itβs far cheaper to ensure people remain housed.β @thephilanthropist.ca
